Its a HUGE mess, and without a full respirator setup (very expensive) you can really endanger your health. From what I hear Silicosis is not a pleasant way to spend early retirement. (but then, some proffessional mechanics never questioned using compessed air to clean out old brake drums) Sometimes facts and opinions mean little when you are making PERSONAL health and safety decisions.

For the cost, I personally like dropping things off and picking them up all ready for the next step.
